WEBVTT STRUCTURES AND HOMES WERE DAMAGED AND THANKFUL THE PEOPLE ARE OKAY. SO KEEPING AN EYE ON THE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER MOVING BACK IN OUR AREA LATE TONIGHT AND IT LOOKS LIKE A BUSY WEEK AHEAD. THIS MORNING IT'S QUIET. THIS MAY BE THE ONLY MORNING WHERE WE HAVE QUIET CONDITIONS ACROSS OUR AREA. LET ME SHOW YOU LIVE CONDITIONS RIGHT NOW NORTH OF THE GRAND VIEW TRIANGLE. FOR JACKSON COUNTY COMMUTERS, HERE'S A LOOK AT THE NORTHBOUND RUN OF 435 HEADING OUT OF THE TRIANGLE AND YOU CAN SEE VERY SMOOTH COMMUTING HERE WITH DRY CONDITIONS ON THE INTERSTATE. WE WILL CHECK IN WITH JOHNNY ROWLANDS IN MINUTES. I WILL HAVE THE LATEST ON THE MORNING DRIVE ACROSS THE CITY. 74 DEGREES. MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. A BEAUTIFUL START TO THE DAY BUT WE HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT WEATHERWISE FOR THIS WORKWEEK AHEAD. AN ACTIVE WEEK OF STORMS IS EXPECTED FOR OUR AREA AND IT BEGINS TONIGHT. IT WILL BE AFTER YOUR EVENING ACTIVITIES. AT LEAST IF YOUR EVENING ACTIVITIES ARE BEFORE 10:00. AFTER 10:00 IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS IS WHEN THE FIRST ROUND WILL LIKELY MOVE IN AND DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL IS THE THING THAT I'M MOSTLY KEEPING AN EYE ON IN TERMS OF HOW IT WILL AFFECT OUR AREA OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. FOR THE TIME BEING IT IS A QUIET START. 75 IN LEE'S SUMMIT. LOOKING GOOD IN OLATHE WITH 72 DEGREES. THEN YOU WILL CLIMB QUICK. THE HIGH TODAY ALONG I-35. 91. STILWELL WITH 94. OVERLAND PARK 93. PRAIRIE VILLAGE AND SHAWNEE, WELL INTO THE 90s THIS AFTERNOON AS WELL. FROM DOWNTOWN KANSAS CITY THROUGH 250 HIGHWAY THROUGH RAY TOWN. LEE'S SUMMIT WITH 93 DEGREES. THE SAME FOR BLUE SPRINGS AND INDEPENDENCE THIS AFTERNOON. LIBERTY, GLADSTONE PICKING UP 93, 94 DEGREES. PARKSVILLE FEELING TROPICAL WITH HIGH LEVELS OF HUMIDITY TODAY AS WELL. FROM KCK, WESTBOUND ALONG I-70, DOWN THROUGH DESOTO INTO THE 90s WITH A HEAT INDEX CLOSE TO 100 DEGREES BY LATER TODAY. AND WITH ALL OF THIS MOISTURE THAT IS SITTING OVER OUR AREA, YOU BRING IN A COLD FRONT THAT WILL GIVE US LIFT IN THE ATMOSPHERE AND IT WILL HELP PRODUCE THE CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. AND WE HAVE A GOOD PART OF THE VIEWING AREA THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL OF SEEING SEVERE, DAMAGING STORMS AS WE MOVE THROUGH LATE TONIGHT. THE BEST WINDOW FOR THE THUNDERSTORMS AND THE STRONGER STORMS WILL BE WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING. AFTER 10:00 P.M. TONIGHT THROUGH SUNRISE TOMORROW MORNING, WIND GUSTS OVER 60 MILES PER HOUR. THAT'S WHAT I'M MOST CONCERNED ABOUT AND THAT'S WHAT WE SAW LAST WEEK ON THURSDAY MORNING. IT GAVE US ALL THE POWER OUTAGES, TREE LIMBS DOWN AND UNFORTUNATELY WE WILL SEE A SIMILAR SET UP OVER THE NEXT 24-HOURS ACROSS OUR AREA. HERE'S THE LATEST WITH FUTURE SCAN SHOWING YOU QUIET CONDITIONS TODAY BUT BY 10:00 TONIGHT CHIEF METEOROLOGIST BRYAN BUSBY KEEPING THE POTENTIAL OF STORMS TOMORROW MORNING, EARLY MORNING COMMUTERS ESPECIALLY FOR THE TUESDAY MORNING DRIVE, IT COULD BE A SLOW GO WITH HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND FLOODING CONCERNS. GIVEN HOW MUCH MOISTURE WILL FALL WITH SOME OF THE STORMS OVERNIGHT. AND ONCE THE PATTERN MOVES IN, IT WILL STICK FOR A GOOD 4-5 DAYS OFF AND ON WE WILL SEE THE ROUNDS OF STORMS TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, WE WILL BREAK THE HEAT THOUGH ONCE THE STORM PASSES SOUTH OF OUR AREA. I EXPECT BY THE END OF THE WORKWEEK WE WILL SLIDE THROUGH
